ENGR 471 Vibrations
Vibrations covers the fundamentals of vibration analysis with application of simple machine and structural members. Topics include harmonic motion, free and forced vibration, resonance, damping, isolation, and transmissibility. Single and multiple degree-of-freedom systems are examined.

Student Learning Outcomes
- Derive the equation of motion of a signle-degree-of-freedom system using Newton's second law of motion.
- Solve a spring-mass-damper system for different types of free-vibration response depending on the amount of damping.
- Find the responses of undamped and viscously damped single-DOF systems subjected to harmonic force.
- Determine the forced-vibration solutions, and distinguish between transient, steady-state, and total solutions
- Formulate the equations of motion of two-DOF systems and multidegree-of-freedom systems
- Compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of vibration
- Use the Laplace transform approach for solution of two-degree-of-freedom systems
- Solve free- and forced-vibration systems using MATLAB
